Wow that looks great, I think I can see a large path coming up from MB towards the station.

It certainly looks fantastic! Just a quick question which I think has been answered before so I do apologise, do we know if that centre path that was opened during the Fireworks weekend will be a permanent path or just staff/construction only?

That looks like the old path between Mutiny Bay and Katanga Canyon which was temporarily reopened over Fireworks weekend at the end of last season.TheBeornen wrote:Wow that looks great, I think I can see a large path coming up from MB towards the station.
I’m interested to see whether the new path that was opened for last season will remain open or if it will be closed off and used for staff access.

From what I can see it looks like the path from last year will be open as well as the old path that was shut last season. There even looks like a path connecting the two that goes underneath one of the air time hills.

It also appears to confirm that the pathway alongside the construction site won’t be open for the coming season as a section of queue line covers that area.

Not necessarily. If I remember correctly, the section of queue line you're referring to was actually being put together directly behind the construction fence at the bottom of one tree path. It may still be open, we shall have to see in March.

I don't believe any one has pointed this out but correct me if they have. However do we think this is one of the fire elements within the theming structure? I created an image to explain what i mean better.

I imagine there is one on the other shoulder too, and they would shoot out fire as the rider went through. You can see on the advertising poster the fire coming out of the shoulders so it would make sense.
Am I on to something or completely off? Or has this been discussed already :lol

Both images show a full image of the train (on the brake run) with test dummies on, as well as permanent lighting throughout the ride and the Wickerman theming structure.

Wow the lightning looks great on this ride, this actually adds to themeing of the ride glowing as if it's on fire.

Well.. at least this confirms the 12 row train.. also as stated quite a while ago, the concrete on the turn out of the station looks to of had a bit of theming added to it.. reference from both evening pictures
EDIT: Unless the pictures decieve me? :-k

It seems the fence separating the Rapids exit and the newly opened path between MB and GW has been removed, opening up access to the area. Do you think this will stay as it is? I hope it does as it will improve guest flow if there are three access points to KC.
